we should just make a tournament questions thread and pin it next time cause the club forums have been clogged with individual tournament questions

Yes it is a bit long! Do you think the tournament could be 4-5 rounds as 7 is pretty tiring

I completely agree!

DasBurner

I think 4 because it's hard to differentiate a winner with only 3 rounds but I think 10|0 instead of 10|5 (I'm so sorry for complaining)

Yes 7 rounds is way too long unless it’s 3 minute blitz but nobody here can handle blitz pressure. I think 3 rounds of rapid tbh 

wdmy I can, and other people can too

I agree with the rounds but what about 10/2 so no flagging or 10/1 but not much increment

ricorat

Yeah I can handle blitz fine I’m just not good at it

DasBurner

bro Im so bad at speed chess

DasBurner

like im not that good at regular chess either but speed chess is the bane of my existence

cricket7890

Bestunknownplayer

Hold of until like mid-july. maybe the 17th because it is about 2 weeks to prepare.

I'm okay at blitz but don't even ask about my bullet skills......

DasBurner

everyone says im underrated at bullet but i dont find it fun, and my hands just can't react in time to move quickly enough
